Description
Collaborations between poet / composer Bo Meson and multi-instrumentalist / composer Martin Archer tend to stray into odd places where neither of them would normally venture, and when they meet up normal rules cease to apply.
Quite how the initial idea for this piece, inspired by the odd fact that Matt Damon's script for the fourth Jason Bourne movie comprised a total of just 288 words, ended up as a metaphysical dialogue between Rasputin and Goethe set to a kind of surrealistic take on a middle-European palm court trio, is frankly anyone's guess. Nevertheless, the end result, which gives plenty of room for the wonderful improvising skills of Graham Clark and Maja Bugge on violin and cello respectively, plus interludes from Archer's creepy clarinets, is another fine example of Meson's poetic exploration of arcane and obsessive detail.
Personnel: Bo Meson (voice, software instruments), Wolfgang Seel (voice), Peter Rophone (choral voices), Martin Archer (Bb and bass clarinets, software instruments), Graham Clark (violin), Maja Bugge (cello)
